Stories similar to Wireless Netgear wnda3100v2 problem

(Sorry for the typo in the title)
So after days of searching, I was finally able to get my Netgear wireless adapter (WNDA3100v2) functioning on my setup (Ubuntu 14.04) by following this guide: http://av3ngr.wikispaces.com/Netgear+WNDA3100v2+USB

I've been trying to get my netgear adapter to work on my ubuntu 14.04 desktop but can not seem to get it to work. I have watched countless tutorials, read through many threads, and even did a lot of research on manufacture sites. I still can not seem to get it to work. Even when people have the same problem as me, they get theirs solved and I still can't get mine working.
